Chapter 312: Among the thousands of sects, where will Tianshu go?
The moon is at its zenith.
Inside the pavilion in the mountain owner's courtyard, Qin Mo and Zhou Shihong drank for a long time facing the moon.
Zhou Shihong looked depressed, and he obviously hadn't recovered from the blow he suffered during the day . He was drinking to drown his sorrows, and said with emotion: "Is the world really going to change?"
Qin Mo was lying on a rattan chair, holding a large wine gourd in his hand, looking calm and casual.
"Honghuang" is Qin Mo's foundation. Although he felt a little uncomfortable about the changes on Blue Star, he could barely accept it. He took a sip of spirit wine and said lightly: "You have to be mentally prepared. This has just begun."
"What do you mean?" Zhou Shihong became nervous again.
After all, Zhou Shihong is a modern man, and he does not have a clear and accurate understanding of the four major immortal sects, the world of earthly immortals, or even the real world of immortal cultivation.
Nature is like looking at the moon in the water and watching the flowers in the mirror.
Completely confused.
Fortunately, there was the advisor Qin Mo, who smiled and explained: "Since the four major sects want to gain a foothold in China, it is impossible for them to only accept 20 to 30 disciples. That's just the beginning. Which sect doesn't have more than a hundred true disciples, thousands of inner disciples, and more than ten thousand outer disciples?"
The influence of the immortal gate,
But it is by no means limited to the paradise where the mountain gate is located.
Which immortal sect does not have the power to influence the direction of a dynasty? Their influence penetrates the dynasty from top to bottom, weaving a huge and complex network.
As the saying goes, "There is no dynasty that lasts for a thousand years, but there is an immortal sect that lasts for ten thousand years."
Especially the five major immortal gates like Chunyang Palace, Shenxiao Sect, and Qingyang Temple, they are all existences that can watch the rise and fall of dynasties. Their size and energy are far beyond the imagination of outsiders.
In the world of earthly immortals, the five major immortal gates are almost synonymous with the Dongsheng Divine Continent.
"According to what you said, all the elite players among Chinese players will be caught by the four major sects?" Zhou Shihong's face became even uglier.
This will not only affect the Tai Shang Taoist Temple. I am afraid that all the Taoist temples at all levels that Tianshu has painstakingly planned and built over the past decades will have to prepare for the four major immortal sects.
"That's about right." Qin Mo nodded.
The influence and appeal of the Immortal Master are so overwhelming that no one can stop him.
Just look at the situation in Taishang Taoist Temple and you will know that every student here is a chosen one of heaven's chosen ones, they are extremely proud in their bones, yet don't they all follow the four great immortal masters?
"What I'm most worried about is not this." Qin Mo looked up at the sky with a deep gaze, as if he had many unknown worries.
At this moment, he seemed to be able to see through the trajectory of the future and predict some things.
"Is there any worse news than this?" Zhou Shihong almost became numb, and suddenly took a big gulp of spirit wine, "Ahem~~~"
Because I drank too quickly, I choked...
Qin Mo pretended not to see it. It was his responsibility to analyze the worst-case scenario to Zhou Shihong one by one.
So that Tianshu can be prepared to respond.
"No matter how much the four great sects expand, they can only accommodate 40,000 to 50,000 people. With the current number of cultivators in China, more than 90% of the players actually don't have the opportunity to join the four great sects." Qin Mo said lightly.
China's population base is here. According to incomplete statistics from Tianshu, the number of cultivators who have entered the Qi Refining Stage and above has exceeded 1.5 million.
Given China's current peaceful environment and population growth rate, this base will only get larger and larger.
Forty or fifty thousand people is really not a lot.
Zhou Shihong smiled bitterly when he heard this. He had previously said that the four major sects were bandits. As a result, many people came forward to become their disciples, but the sects were not necessarily willing to accept them.
How ironic!
"What I am most worried about is that the four major immortal sects are standing so proudly, which is equivalent to openly opposing the Taoist system and raising the banner of the sect system. By then, will there be Yuanying and Jindan cultivators who will follow suit and learn to occupy a blessed land, build large-scale projects, recruit disciples, and establish a sect?" Qin Mo said lightly.
Firstly, the methods of the four major sects may not be suitable for everyone.
There are always pearls hidden in the ocean.
Second, there has always been a lack of people in the world who want to transcend the mundane world.
Cultivating immortality, in addition to pursuing immortality, cultivators also have seven emotions and six desires, and they will also pursue power, wealth, and women. They also want to establish a sect, gain widespread support, and even leave their names through the ages.
This is human nature.
Even though the players praise Qin Mo so highly, who doesn’t want to be the second Qin Mo?
No one wants to be a supporting role all their life.
Even passers-by A, B, C, and D cannot leave even a mark in this vast era.
It's impossible that after advancing to the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages, they still have the same pursuits as ordinary people, right?
Before the advent of the four immortals, Qin Mo was indeed the one who had the final say in the Chinese cultivation world. Even though many people had similar thoughts before, no one dared to be the first to stand up and openly challenge the Taoist system.
That would be tantamount to provoking Qin Mo.
Didn’t you see that people like Wei Tianli and Li Feng could only bow down to Qin Mo before? !
And like the Dao Gate,
Although he was dissatisfied with the establishment of Tai Shang Taoist Temple, he could only protest silently by "retiring".
Never dared to have a direct conflict with Qin Mo.
But with the establishment of the four major immortal sects, Qin Mo no longer has any deterrent power in the world of cultivation.
Since immortal masters like Jade Yang Zhenjun and Zixu Zhenren can openly occupy famous mountains and rivers such as Wudang and Qingcheng, establish sects and teach disciples, why can't they do it?
They can't occupy Qingcheng Mountain,
Can't we just occupy Qingfeng Mountain?
I can't accept thousands of disciples.
Can’t we collect a hundred or so?
Can't become a generation of immortals,
Can't we form our own school?
Qin Mo had previously been pushing for the Taoist Academy system in order to use an institutional approach to suppress the players' desires and ambitions in this regard, and then form a customary practice.
Once everyone accepts this setting, a few ambitious people will have no way to act.
Because there is no soil for them to grow their ambitions.
But before the Taoist system was completely stabilized, the Taoist sect did this. It used a big move to attract four immortals to the world, and instantly smashed the Taoist system to pieces.
Tianshu had no way to do anything about this.
Even if Qin Mo is really willing to suppress it, as the situation evolves, it is likely that the four major immortal sects will end up standing up for these smaller sects.
Because, that is exactly what the four major immortal sects would like to see.
How does the influence of the immortal sect radiate to the entire secular world? In addition to the disciples of the sect, there are two important intermediaries: one is the cultivation family, and the other is the small sect that clings to them.
The cultivation family is rooted in the mortal world, and the head of the family is either a disciple of the immortal sect or has a close relationship with the immortal sect.
A very tacit cooperative relationship has been formed between them.
Many things that the immortal sects are inconvenient or do not have the energy to do can be handed over to the cultivation families.
Just like now, the four major immortal sects want to establish their own sects in the blessed land of caves. In addition to recruiting disciples, don’t they need to build a large-scale building? It’s impossible for them to live in caves.
It is even more impossible for someone like True Lord Yuyang to handle such a tedious matter personally.
Naturally, a group of lackeys are needed.
Qin Mo could even imagine that those pseudo-cultivation families and real tycoons who had been deliberately suppressed by him before would spontaneously come to him after getting the news and serve the Immortal Sect with all their heart and soul.
For someone like Wei Tianli who joined Qingyang Temple, he felt like a fish in water and they hit it off immediately.
There is no doubt that
The cultivation family is the bond between the immortals and the secular world.
If the numerous cultivation families are an extension of the immortal gates to the secular world, then the small and medium-sized cultivation sects are an extension of the immortal gates in the world of cultivation.
Most of the immortal sects only have one headquarters and it is impossible for them to occupy all the blessed places.
That's such an ugly way of eating.
But can we just leave the surrounding mountains and blessed land, the middle area between the immortal gates, completely unattended? That would not only be detrimental to the safety of the immortal gate, but would also attract the covetousness of other immortal gates.
The best way,
It is to secretly support a group of small and medium-sized sects, and then form a sect alliance headed by the Immortal Sect to control a large area.
These small and medium-sized sects have become buffer zones for the major immortal sects.
Most of the conflicts and competitions between immortal sects are not direct, but are carried out with the help of these vassal sects.
This is just like playing chess, with the immortal sects being the chess players and the small and medium-sized sects being the chess pieces. No matter who wins or loses, it will neither damage the core interests of the immortal sect nor tear each other's faces apart.
Maintain a delicate situation of fighting but not breaking.
It can even be said that in order to effectively control the small and medium-sized sects under their command and consolidate their position, the immortal sects will sometimes start tacit wars, taking the opportunity to weaken the strength of the small and medium-sized sects.
The means used are endless and difficult to describe.
Don't think that monks don't use tricks or engage in political intrigues. They are all thousand-year-old monsters. If they really play tricks, they are really not comparable to ordinary people.
“…”
After listening to Qin Mo's explanation, Zhou Shihong was speechless for a long time. He was no longer able to complain. His face was extremely ugly, and he was even a little discouraged. He smiled bitterly and said, "Is there no countermeasure?"
If it is really as Qin Mo described, it won't be long before sects of all sizes flourish all over the land of Jiuzhou, which will naturally conflict with the secular world of China.
What was damaged was not just the Taoist temple system.
Although Zhou Shihong did not understand the world of immortal cultivation, he was quite knowledgeable about human nature. Not to mention the four major immortal sects, what would happen if those small and medium-sized sects became powerful?
Will they still follow the laws of China?! That would be chaos.
"Of course we have countermeasures." Qin Mo's eyes were burning.
As a time traveler, a person who has been influenced and baptized by Chinese civilization, Qin Mo still firmly believes that the Taoist system is the most suitable system for this era.
No doubt about it.
After all, there are huge differences between modern civilization and the ancient civilization of the Earthly Immortal World, and they cannot be copied exactly.
Because of this,
Qin Mo had never thought about establishing the Shenxiao Sect in China.
If he really wanted to do this, he would have done it long ago without having to wait for some immortal to appear.
As long as Qin Mo lets go,
The number of geniuses who want to join the Shenxiao Sect is as numerous as the fish in the river, and there are as many as you want.
Who else can compete with him?!
